[PS: The second update has arrived. Please subscribe!!!]

After closing her room door, Liu Rumei’s originally angry beautiful face involuntarily revealed a hint of pleasure, possibly unnoticed even by herself, but seen by Yong Chun Tai who had watched her grow up from childhood. He couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. Other people might not know Liu Rumei’s thoughts, but Yong Chun Tai understood them very well, only no one had expressed it openly.

”Rumei, Ye Tianchen has already left, you should go to sleep early,” Yong Chun Tai said with a smile.

”I know, Yong Chun Tai. Oh, and Yong Chun Tai, can you give this to him?” Liu Rumei handed a bag to Yong Chun Tai and said.

”What’s this?” Yong Chun Tai asked as if he didn’t know on purpose.

”Apples!” Liu Rumei said shyly, like a little girl.

”For whom?” Yong Chun Tai continued to ask with a smile.

”Oh, Yong Chun Tai, I know you are the best. Please take it to him for me, and don’t say it was my idea,” Liu Rumei coyly pleaded, linking her arm through Yong Chun Tai’s.

”Rumei, you want to be kind to him without him knowing, why torture yourself like this?” Yong Chun Tai, having watched Liu Rumei grow up, had never seen her so concerned about any man before. He truly envied the good fortune of that silly boy, Ye Tianchen. Those young masters who pursued Liu Rumei, fighting desperately just for a glimpse of her, could not expect such treatment, as even getting an appointment with her was difficult. As for Liu Rumei’s feelings, Yong Chun Tai understood them as well but felt sorry for this simple and beautiful girl.

”I can feel that he has important things to do. He is a person with compassion and loyalty; he just doesn’t show it, which is actually not bad!” Liu Rumei said with a smile, as if to comfort Yong Chun Tai and herself at the same time.

”But Rumei, it’s too hard on you. If the Old Man of the Liu family finds out...” Yong Chun Tai still expressed concern for Liu Rumei.

”Alright, I get it, Yong Chun Tai. I know you care for me the most. Hurry up, or else he might leave soon...” Liu Rumei interrupted Yong Chun Tai.

Yong Chun Tai looked at Liu Rumei and couldn’t help but smile and say, ”Alright then, that boy really has good fortune!”

Watching Yong Chun Tai leave with the bag containing six large apples, Liu Rumei closed her room door. Her beautiful face alternated between sweet smiles and a spoiled pouting look, and finally, she muttered to herself, ”Ye Tianchen, you big jerk, you think I’ll let you get away with peeping on me in the bath? Hmph!”

After finishing her sentence with feigned anger, Liu Rumei blushed, became dazed for a bit, and then went to her room to sleep. Some things didn’t need to be spelled out too clearly; fascinating events would unfold splendidly if they were meant to happen, while those that weren’t meant to be just wouldn’t occur. Life itself is a play, and only by watching can one experience the full range of emotions within it.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen was munching on an apple and walking toward the gate of the Liu family estate. From his entrance to his exit, probably no one dared to stop him now. Li San, the Grand Steward of the Liu family, with his almost Great Success Monument Pushing Hand technique, was overwhelmingly powerful yet couldn’t stop Ye Tianchen. The captain of the Falcon Unit, Yan Long, being one of the three War Kings of China, possessed indescribable strength and had not managed to stop Ye Tianchen, so the lesser soldiers surely wouldn’t overestimate themselves and lose face.

As Ye Tianchen was about to reach the gate of the Liu family estate, a person appeared in front of him; it was none other than Li San. Seeing Li San blocking his way, Ye Tianchen bit into an apple again. Truth be told, these apples were really nice; these wealthy families sure did eat well, vastly better than the Ye family’s meals, even their fruits tasted extraordinary.

”What, you want to have a try with me?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”I had that in mind!” Li San replied after glancing at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen nodded. Li San was truly a man, a tough one at that. Even though he lost in their confrontation, Ye Tianchen never underestimated him. Li San’s strength was formidable, especially his Monument Pushing Hand technique, which even impressed Ye Tianchen. If Li San’s technique had reached Great Success, and had he not been blinded by the Vicious Aura born from hatred in his heart, he might not have lost.

”Then shall we have another match now?” Ye Tianchen said as he took another bite of the apple.

”No, I am not your match right now, but one day I will definitely defeat you,” Li San said earnestly as he looked at Ye Tianchen.

”Then what do you mean by stopping me?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

”I heard you formed the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and I want to join. Whenever I get the chance, I’ll fight with you, until I defeat you... Big Brother!”

As he spoke, Li San actually knelt down on one knee, paying respects to Ye Tianchen as his elder brother, shocking Ye Tianchen so much that the apple in his mouth almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly went forward to help Li San up, saying seriously, ”Elder Li San, by age, I should be calling you ’uncle,’ I really can’t accept this!”

”What? Are you saying I’m too old for you, looking down on me?” Li San couldn’t help asking unhappily.

”No, no, you’re only forty years old, it’s the prime time for cultivation; it’s just that joining my Thirteen Heavenly Kings, this... ” Ye Tianchen truly hadn’t expected this and was somewhat caught off guard. Li San wanted to join his Thirteen Heavenly Kings, this was all too sudden, and with Li San being forty, a figure of the older generation, now paying respects to Ye Tianchen as his elder brother, it was a bit hard for Ye Tianchen to adjust to.

”Then it’s settled, there’s no need to be polite with me. From now on, I am a member of your Thirteen Heavenly Kings. I will join in on any mission, and my only goal is to train myself and have a grand battle with you. And another thing, I need to find the Double Saber King and kill him, and no one can stop me!” Li San declared earnestly.

Truthfully, upon seeing Yan Long emerge, although Li San mocked him verbally, he was immensely surprised inside. Yan Long’s strength was even greater than his, yet he hadn’t managed to stop Ye Tianchen, which indicated that although Ye Tianchen was young, he was unfathomable with truly formidable strength. This made Li San consider leaving the Liu family. Having served the Liu family as Grand Steward for twenty years, he had done quite a bit and felt he had repaid the life-saving grace of the Old Man of the Liu family, Liu Feng. However, the deep-seated vengeance for his mother that had been preying on his mind for decades wasn’t something he could lay to rest. Despite continuously seeking news of the Double Saber King, he had found nothing, which made him long to leave the Liu family, as waiting idly by like this might mean he would never avenge his mother.

Therefore, Li San decided to leave the Liu family to continue his cultivation to strengthen himself and to seek the whereabouts of the Double Saber King more zealously, knowing that one day he would find him and end his life.

”Alright, since Brother San has said this, then you are my brother, Ye Tianchen, and a member of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. If we encounter the Double Saber King, I will personally kill him,” Ye Tianchen said straightforwardly, a naturally hearty person. Li San having made such an offer and accepting him as a brother was something he was truly pleased with. Having another strong war general like this as a brother naturally made Ye Tianchen very happy.

”No, the Double Saber King must be killed by my own hands. Anyone who interferes is my enemy, Li San,” Li San stated seriously, looking at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback and then nodded. He admired Li San’s grit and boldness and then burst into laughter as he said, ”Alright, let’s go out for some late-night snacks and have a chat!”

”Let’s go!” Li San also laughed and said.

The addition of Li San was something Ye Tianchen had never seen coming, a truly sudden and unexpected turn of events. Given Li San’s abilities, even though he couldn’t let go of the hatred in his heart, which prevented his Monument Pushing Hand from reaching Great Success, his current strength alone was enough to rank him among the top masters. There really was no need for him to join Ye Tianchen’s Thirteen Heavenly Kings. However, since he had chosen to join, it was something Ye Tianchen was very pleased with. Having such an older brother and good comrade certainly made him happy.

”Wait a moment, you two.”

Just as Ye Tianchen and Li San were laughing and had just reached the Liu family’s front gate, Yong Chun Tai caught up with them, glanced at Li San, and as if thinking of something, asked, ”Li San, are you really leaving the Liu family?”

”Yeah, could you please let the Old Master know, I might come back after I’ve avenged my mother,” Li San stated earnestly.

Yong Chun Tai nodded, aware of Li San’s story, and having also spent decades around someone with whom her interactions were few, though they saw each other daily, she at least considered him a friend. She knew Li San would be uneasy for life without avenging the murder of the Double Saber King and would always remain haunted by it.

”Alright, I’ll pass on your message. Ye Tianchen, this is what Miss Rumei gave you,” said Yong Chun Tai as she handed over a bag given to her by Liu Rumei to Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen took the bag from Yong Chun Tai and seeing the six big red apples inside, he couldn’t help but laugh, ”It seems Liu Rumei isn’t such a stingy person after all!”

”You kid... Rumei treats you as a friend, don’t upset her like that again in the future. She also asked me to tell you, the three military bases in New York, M country, have very strong defenses, not only with Superpower Users but even with virus-infected monsters researched by M country. If you, lad, are planning to do something there, you need to be extra careful!” Yong Chun Tai said, shaking her head after giving Ye Tianchen a glance.
